Turkmen Tent Band Fragment Lot: 40
Turkmen Tent Band Fragment Attribution of Turkmen tent bands to specific tribes seems to become more difficult, not easier, as the number of comparative pieces increases. Since most bands are made in the same technique, with pile-woven designs on a flatwoven, white warp-faced plainweave ground, we lack the important feature of knot type to distinguish between them. To date, comparisons of their designs have not produced definite results that would allow attribution to a particular tribe, because tent bands use a specific design repertoire adapted to their long, narrow format that obviously developed to suit this type of weaving. With some distinctive exceptions (Eagle groups), different tribes appear to have used the same or similar motifs. For this reason, and due to their wealth of motifs, it is difficult to gain an overview of their designs; however, stylistic idiosyncracies in drawing, division of space and composition can be noted. The tent bands have yet to be catalogued in order to provide a basis for a comparative study. In this beautiful jolami fragment, the colours appear darker than usual in contrast to the flatwoven, white cotton ground. The cotton ground indicates that the band may be a Chodor or Arabachi weaving. Signs of age and wear, but in good overall condition.

Ghiordes Lot: 50
Ghiordes A two-column niche carpet, its mihrab field densely filled with vines and its wide border area ornately decorated. This well-known type, many examples of which have survived, was produced in workshops in the West Anatolian towns of Ghiordes and Kula over a long period beginning no later than the 18th century, and exported throughout the Ottoman Empire and to Europe. On account of their elegant pastel shades and elaborate designs, Ghiordes and Kula niche carpets were especially popular pieces in the past, and could not be omitted from any major collection. Cut sides, reselvedged, the outermost borders have been renewed at both ends. Uniformly low pile.
